I feel like Deathmatch could use some tweaking. I was in a few DMs recently trying to warm up but now there is very little use for DM to warm up. People are walking around or camping, spawn killing, 1v3 or 1v4, and doing anything to win the Deathmatch. Here are some things I think Riot could do to Valorant's deathmatch mode to make it more of a warm up mode instead of sweaty tryhards.
- Remove the winning aspect. Lots of people are camping and shift walking around the map to get kills. As some people have said before(and I agree), deathmatch is a warm-up mode. There should be no winning aspect of a warm up PVP. Maybe if you got 40 kills you would get kicked out of that DM lobby(30 kills or 50 kills would work too). Sure, you can still give XP(maybe a little XP for each kill, and you get 900 XP if you max out the number of kills)
- Decrease the amount of people in the DM back to 10 or make a new, bigger, map. Valorant's maps were designed for 5v5 or a total of 10 people. Sticking 14 people into a 10 person map crowds people together and causes more 1v2, 1v3, and 1v4 when people are trying to practice 1v1 dueling gunplay. Also, since Valorant is a team vs team, the maps are not the very best for a free for all.
- Fix the spawn placement. I can not tell you how many times I have spawned with a guy running past me or that I have spawned and when I moved my mouse and lost my invulnerability I instantly die. This sucks. I'm trying to warm up and I can't even live for 3 seconds straight most of the time. Or, I spawn and turn a corner and get one tapped from a guy who heard me spawn.
- Make instant respawn a thing, or get rid of the spawn shields. Or, you could allow a player to move their mouse with the spawn sheild but not their character(W, A, S, D, Crouch, Jump).
- Maybe add a pistol mode DM? I do think that giving everybody 800 credits and letting them DM would be cool.
This is just my opinion. What do you guys think? Feel free to reply and tell me how you think Deathmatch could be changed, or why you think all the stuff above is BS.
